HEXIGTEN 2016

Directed by Li Wei

Li Wei captures the everyday lives of people in Inner Mongolia. Both Han and Mongolian people have lived for millennia across this magnificent expanse. But the traditional nomadic lifestyle has been deeply influenced by the impact of modernisation. Some herders do not live in yurts anymore—instead, they have settled in towns. Some young people would rather dress more fashionably, and only old Mongolian people wear traditional Mongolian clothing.
